We get questions all the time about this diet or that diet, and generally, they are all related to the latest ‘breakthrough’ that claims to have discovered the secret to why people gain and store weight. Upwards of two thirds of US adults, and a full third of US children are overweight or obese.
The truth, as is becoming evident through study after study, is that there are a lot of reasons for weight gain and are as varied as the people who struggle with it.
Folks are frequently after the quick and easy solutions for dropping the excess pounds, whether it is because of impatience or simply because other health complications make it critical for people to get the weight off quickly.
So it is that people head to the Internet to search for something quick and easy, and one item that has come up a lot is the hCG diet.
This is a diet which carries claims that a person using it can lose up to 30 pounds in 30 days. That checks the quick box.
However, the easy part is a little trickier. It involves injections of the female pregnancy hormone, human chorionic gonadotropin. There are some versions of the diet that also involve sub-lingual (under the tongue) drops, but it’s coming to light that there is very little of the hormone in the drops and pills, anyway.
The plan also requires that for at least 6 weeks, the dieter restrict him- or her-self to less than 500 or 600 calories a day and include mostly raw, fresh vegetables and fruits.
The theory is that because hCG is believed to be critical in how a developing embryo uses nutrients and processes fat from the mother’s body. One of the studies that is referred to involves an observation of women in India who were malnourished but seemed to have otherwise healthy babies.
It was theorized that hCG makes the body use up fat reserves while maintaining muscle. However, truth of weight loss is that no magic solution is going to help in the long run without specific lifestyle changes.
Without the hormone, restricting calories and cutting out the food you aren’t supposed to eat is going to result in weight loss. That’s just a fact. But restricting intake to such extreme levels will not only be nearly impossible to stick to, but it will almost surely cause serious vitamin and mineral deficiencies.
Remember the study involved malnourished women.
Let alone that injecting hormones found in human urine can be a little off-putting. And remember that the FDA doesn’t regulate the statements made by vitamin and supplement makers, so you are really taking a risk with not only your health but also your wallet.
There are easy ways to change how you eat and drink that are safe and will change the way your body works that are much safer than experimental injections and starvation diets.
The key is finding the solution that works for you that will balance the right amount of nutrition and hydration with body movement to maximize energy and burn the weight naturally and safely.

Thanku for these life changing and transforming tips! Much appreciated!
Christian Goodman has never tried the diet is my guess. I have had several friends use the diet 1 shots 2 with sprays. I am on it now with a spray. My friends have lost 30 to 40+ pounds in a 40 day cycle. I am mid cycle and have lost 22 pounds. No hunger 100 grams of Meat , fresh vegetables, and fruits two meals a day. NO hunger no cravings. Yes I would like a beer or other beverage but they are not allowed. If You are going to trash something try it yourself and do better research. This works and it only removes the bad fat from your body gut, buttocks, and thighs.
Your anylsis is incorrect. I have used the HCG Diet and lost 45 lbs that has STAYED off. The calories are 900-1000 per day, you didn’t read the book, fresh salmon or organic chicken and beef are included in 2 meals each day. I felt terrific, I wasn’t hungry, I wasn’t mean (which I usually am if on 1000 calories a day) and the injections were so easy and painless. I suggest you try something before you become an expert on the subject!!! Read the book by Kevin Trudeau and decide for yourself.
I think you need to do a little more research on HCG!
The benefits have been proven for half a century ..although not always available in the USA.
One side effect is a reduction in Arthritic symptoms. It can be taken at a minute dosage for this.
Another is the remodeling of the body as the fat comes off and lack of loose skin.
As the diet is done with intervals in between there is little danger of malnutrition, we all eat too much in the USA and the fat releases energy and fat stored nutrients.
There was a famous study done after WW11 in the UK. People were healthier after a reduction in calories during the war than before.
A reduction in calories has an anti-aging effect as well.
Even older folks in homes benefit from a decrease in calories.
If one is sensible after HCG, one can keep off the weight for years.
A low calorie diet of vegetables and fruit does restrict the nutrient intake especially when these foods are grown on nutrient deficient soils such as factory farms.
Therefore, whole food supplements are very important to add to any diet or food regimen.
High quality enzymes are also most important for digestion. A deficiency in enzymes results in proteins not being utilizes, without protein, minerals do not functioning and without minerals, vitamins deficiency results. (www.provenhealthsolutions.net)
I have the Trudeo book and it has the same calorie then the original, 500. I am 81 years young and last year I did it two times with 3 months break. Lost 25 and 22 lb. I am going this month or November for the 3rd time, my goal is 15lb.
My advice for those who are too quick to make statements, check the facts first. Thanks Lisa
